3 and My face is tired killed any desire to replay them for me.
Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

3 is two-thirds a great game and one-third an okay game. The Tuchanka and Rannoch arcs are stellar, but that last third really shows what happens when your head writers take off mid project.
3 is a good video game. Just a terrible ending to the trilogy.
Remember when Morbius got out-morbed by regular sharks?

'nother thing from a rando blog that I added to my quote file.
"I don’t know what those ‘90s sci Fi TV writers were putting in their shows but I wish they’d start doing it again
# They de-escalated the stakes every once in a while so you can see what the characters are like when they're not under duress
# They made statements about the world through allegory
# They invested in depicting developing friendships and relationships between characters
# They assumed the audience was paying attention to the screen and wanted to be there
# ...and that their audience has enough intelligence to follow narrative clues and maybe even predict things"
And I'll add things like:
- not over-explaining every little damn thing
- not making characters talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy
- not taking the audience's ability to predict events and ending as a bad thing
...for someone who doesn't actually watch a lot of TV and movies, I sure think about it a lot. I think my conclusion is I don't like productions that treat the audience like scatterbrained idiots.

Its likely with the Robin or somewhere under the Bat couch!
Goku has never actually defeated Vegeta in a one-on-one fight.
Then Vegeta has never beaten Goku without playing dirty, so the score is still even, but they will always be respectable rivals for the rest of their lives, sure they aren't best friends but at least they acknowledge one another!
I care nothing about Dragon Ball, I just like seeing Latin American fans getting mad at Americans for thinking that fuckin DBZA is the 'real' way to watch the series.
heaven forbid we miss all those highly relevant scenes of screaming, constipated grunting, powering up and exploding rocks.
The driver’s licence episode can stay though.

Even Team Four Star calls people out on watching DBZA without actually watching DBZ.
I’d sooner call out people who watched DBZ/A without watching Dragon Ball TBH
Dragon Ball didn't get fully dubbed into English until years after DBZ became popular. Us old farts who haven't gone back to rewatch it in the ensuing years didn't have much choice.
Still a better standard than watching the anime equivalent of foam peanuts.
The peanut butter & jelly M&Ms are pretty good, fwiw. At least from the perspective of someone who already likes the regular peanut butter ones.
